Product Overview The Kalita Wave 102 Dripper represents a breakthrough in pour over coffee brewing with its distinctive flat-bottom design and wave-filtered walls. Unlike traditional cone-shaped drippers, this Japanese pour over brewer features a patented three-hole system that promotes even water distribution and consistent extraction, making it easier to brew exceptional coffee at home. This lightweight plastic wave dripper offers the same professional-quality brewing as the ceramic and stainless steel models at a fraction of the price, making it the best pour over dripper for home brewers, travelers, and anyone new to the pour over method. Key Features Patented Flat-Bottom Design The Kalita Wave's signature flat bottom with three extraction holes creates optimal water flow and even saturation across the coffee bed, reducing channeling and producing balanced, flavorful cups every time. Wave-Filtered Construction Twenty vertical ribs along the interior walls minimize contact between the filter and dripper, promoting air circulation and preventing over-extraction from heat retention—a hallmark of Japanese coffee brewing precision. Lightweight & Durable Made from BPA-free plastic, this pour over coffee maker is virtually unbreakable and weighs just ounces—ideal for travel, camping, or everyday home use.
